Chelsea are reportedly ready to muscle in on AC Milan’s pursuit of Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio.
According to Chris Hatherall of the Sunday Mirror, even though the centre-back is close to agreeing a £21 million move to the Serie A giants, the Blues have yet to give up the chase for the 26-year-old. “The player has a release clause in his contract so the battle may be more down to personal terms and club ambition than the size of the transfer fee,” it’s added.
